Papua New Guinea's village court system was introduced in 1974,
partly in an effort to overcome the legal, geographical, and social
distance between village societies and the country's formal courts.
There are now more than 1100 village courts all over PNG, hearing
thousands of cases each week. This anthropological study is
grounded in ethnographic research on three different village courts
and the communities they serve. It also explores the colonial
historical background to the establishment of the village court
system, and the local and global processes influencing the efforts
of village courts to deal with everyday disputes among grassroots
Melanesians.
